2. California Turkey and Bacon Lettuce Wraps with Basil-Mayo

I LOVE this recipe because I always get sick of what I make myself for lunch. Not only is this different, but it won’t ruin your diet plan!

Ingredients:

1 head iceberg lettuce

4 slices turkey

4 slices bacon, cooked

1 avocado, thinly sliced

1 roma tomato, thinly sliced

For the Basil-Mayo:

1/2 c. mayonnaise (make it healthier with a light mayo!)

6 large basil leaves, torn

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 garlic clove, chopped

Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

For the Basil-Mayo: combine ingredients in a small food processor then process until smooth. Alternatively, mince basil and garlic then whisk all ingredients together. Can be done a couple days ahead of time.

Lay out two large lettuce leaves then layer on 1 slice of turkey and slather with Basil-Mayo. Layer on a second slice of turkey followed by the bacon, and a few slices of both avocado and tomato. Season lightly with salt and pepper then fold the bottom up, the sides in, and roll like a burrito. Slice in half, then serve cold.

4. Eggo Waffle Breakfast Pizza

Although this recipe could be really unhealthy, I have changed the ingredients just a tad to give you a healthy rendition that will keep you on track with your fitness goals. With protein, complex carbs, and fruit, you’ll be energized without feeling bogged down from a sugar high. This is one of my favorite breakfast meals! (Another bonus: I’m always running late in the mornings, and this is something you can literally make in 3 minutes. My kind of breakfast for sure.)
